Traditional Pad Thai is made from scrambled eggs with noodles or fried with a thin layer of egg outside to make the dish more attractive. Along with that is a piece of tofu and some shrimp on top. Traditional Pad Thai does not have any meat other than dried shrimp and fresh shrimp. However, it has many different variations, there are places that add chicken and beef to attract Western guests. Pad Thai is usually eaten with chives and bean sprouts.
Ingredients:
- 400g noodle soup
- 100g fresh shrimp
- 100g dried shrimp
- 2 pieces of tofu
- 2 chicken eggs
- 220g jaggery
- 100g white sugar
- Price, chives
- Red onion, garlic, chili
- Peanut
- 1 squeezing tamarind
- Fish sauce, lemon
Instructions:
Step 1: Make Pad Thai Sauce
You put tamarind in a cup, add a little warm water and then use a spoon to puree. Then, filter through a sieve to get tamarind juice. Next, put the pan on the stove, turn to medium heat, then add crushed jaggery, fish sauce, white sugar, tamarind juice to cook. Cook until the ingredients are melted, then lower the heat and cook until the sauce is thick, turn off the heat and let it cool.
Step 2: Prepare Ingredients
- Noodles are soaked in cold water and then taken out to drain.
- Tofu you cut into small squares and then put in a pan of hot oil, deep-fried until golden brown.
- Dried shrimp is soaked in warm water to soften the shrimp.
- Fresh shrimp you bring washed, remove only shrimp on the back and then peeled, leaving only the tail.
- Bean sprouts and chives are washed with dilute salt water and then drained.
Step 3: Cook Pad Thai
- Heat the pan, then add the oil and garlic and fry until fragrant. Next, add the tofu and stir-fry, then add all the shrimp to the island.
- Season with a little salt and monosodium glutamate. About 3 minutes, you add noodles, shrimp and tofu.
- Stir-fry until the pho is loose. When the pho is hot, break the eggs into a bowl, stir well, then add the eggs and stir-fry together. Stir-fry thoroughly so that the egg coat is evenly spread on the noodles.
Step 4: Done
Then, you add the sauce mixture, stir well and season to taste. A standard Pad Thai dish will have a little water left and the sauce will soak into it, creating a salty, sour taste.
Step 5: Enjoy
Finally, when the ingredients are cooked, add the bean sprouts and fried shallots again. If you eat spicy, you add sliced in. Now you just need to put the dish on a plate with a banana leaf spread, sprinkle crushed roasted peanuts on top of a few chives and enjoy!
So the way to make Pad Thai is done. The noodles are soft and soft, and the fresh shrimp are soaked in sour and salty spices, really interesting, aren’t they?
